Tragedy hit the restaurant community this week, as Greens chef John Paul Ueber was killed in a car crash on the Daly City stretch of Highway 280 on Tuesday morning; he was only 32 years old. It was only a few weeks ago that Greens executive chef Annie Somerville was singing the praises of Ueber, who was her right-hand man and head chef, and had been working at the Fort Mason vegetarian institution for nearly 10 years.

“He was super responsible,” she said. “He was great at teaching people to be efficient.”
